Family Space

The Family Space is a museum area dedicated to children from birth to age five. It introduces cultural heritage through games and interactive experiences that encourage early literacy, writing, and numeracy skills.

The Family Space is a unique room combining an exhibition and a playroom.

The Family Space is a place designed for children aged 0 to 5. This area is dedicated to introducing cultural heritage through play-based activities that foster early reading, writing, and mathematical awareness, all within an environment tailored to young children. The Family Space is a room at the intersection of an exhibition gallery and a playroom. Visitors will find authentic artifacts, wooden reproductions of these objects, toys, and even a tree-shaped climbing wall. Finally, a changing and nursing area allows the whole family to enjoy the space comfortably. Come visit us—we can’t wait to welcome the archaeologists of tomorrow!
